I followed this recipe to the tee except I used a whole turkey breast instead of a whole turkey. It was moist and perfectly seasoned all my guests enjoyed it immensely. Its a keeper!

I made my 1st Thanksgiving Turkey this year and used Ina's Perfect Roast Turkey recipe. It was truly perfect! We had approximately 10 guests for dinner and the turkey was a hit with all! I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone whether its the 1st turkey your ever making or the 100th. It was so tasty and juicy =

Amazing. I hate turkey as a rule, and I made this for my first Thanksgiving dinner. I brined it first with some cut up lemons, oranges, salt, and brown sugar (Emeril's recipe for brined turkey. I then followed Ina's instructions exactly. I even overcooked the turkey a bit ... the breast was 180*F when I pulled it out (oops and it was still so moist. I couldn't believe it ... I actually LIKED turkey! I will always make this exact recipe from now on. Thanks!

Thank you Ina! Once again, you made me look like the star chef! First ever turkey (and for my inlaws no less and it came out great and was a show stopper! I used Rosemary instead because it grew in my garden and it worked great!!

The title of this receipe is so right on the money.

I have never roasted a chicken never mind a turkey and I was nervous.

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time ever and let me tell you when I tell you I was nervous.

So I looked at so many recipes and asked everyone how they cooked their turkey, I got a different answer each time. Then I thought wait let me go to my go to place for recipes and I punch in Roast turky and a few receipes came up.

I decided on Ina's recipe because I have cooked a few of her other recipes with success.

I even watched the video and the video was also on demand so I watched a few more times. (Can you tell I was nervous

I cooked a 16lb turkey (thank you foodnetwork.com for telling me how long to cook the turkey. I did let it rest for about 45 minutes and it came out perfect.

My family said it was delicious and I have to agree.

Thank you Ina and Foodnetwork.com for making my first Thanksgiving a success.

It took more than 2.5 hours to cook. It came out midium and guest had to wait another 1 hour to eat turkey. I even increased the temperature for last 1 hour cooking.
The taste was really good. I could eat it without gravy.

Wonderful!! The couple changes I made were lowering temp to 325 and to add can of chicken broth and 1/2 cup white wine to roasting pan. If you don't I find the little amount of drippings in the beginning starts to burn. Regarding the temp, I saw her make a turkey on tv and that is the temp she used. It was also the temp directed on the turkey packaging. My 13 lb turkey took 3 1/2 hours. It looked and tasted great. Next time I will try just softening the butter and then adding the thyme and lemon. This way I can rub some under the skin. I also saved a small amt of the defatted drippings and poured it over the carved turkey before I made Ina's perfect gravy. Thanks again Ina!!
